Using Green Stormwater Infrastructure to Bolster Economic Development

The City of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, is creating a transit-oriented development (TOD) district on two million square feet of underutilized mill space. They are using Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) approaches to improve overall living conditions, create placemaking, and multi-modal access opportunities. The project also features a credit trading program that would allow credits for constructed GSI in a right-of-way (ROW) that can be banked and applied to satisfy regulatory requirements for redevelopment projects.
